The Stellar Impact Website announces that this online sci-fi/space opera strategy game is now free-to-play, though players are restricted to the first level of each ship unless they upgrade to a premium account. Here's the deal:

Stellar Impact goes free to play! A lot of players were waiting for it and finally Tindalos Interactive did it.

Stellar Impact is now free to play.

Since the release, Stellar Impact had difficulty to gather enough players. To resolve this problem the economic model becomes a free to play.

Everybody will be able to play for free and infinitly but will be limited to the MK1, you will have to buy a premium account to unlock the others MK.

We remind you that the first additional spaceship will be available soon.

Hoping that everybody will come to play Stellar Impact, we wish you good games!

They would have been better off making this a game you buy instead of trying to make it into an MMO. These type of games do not do well as MMO. As they have found out and now are making it free to play.
